A Model for Anesthetic Washout during Recovery in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit
نویسنده
چکیده
Hypercapnia with hyperventilation during emergence from anesthesia has been shown to reduce emergence time, yet little is known about how the subsequent recovery in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) is affected. A mathematical model has been developed to investigate how inhaled anesthetic agents wash out of patients during recovery in order to demonstrate any difference that hypercapnia and hyperventilation during emergence might have on recovery.

Comparison of Anesthetic Techniques on Outcomes of Pediatric Rigid Bronchoscopy for Foreign Body Removal
Background Although both methods of spontaneous respiration and controlled ventilation during anesthesia are safe and effective for managing children with foreign body aspiration, there is no consensus from the literature as to which technique is optimal. This study aimed to determine the outcomes of anesthetic techniques in pediatric rigid bronchoscopy for foreign body removal. Materials and M...
متن کاملA Reemergence Device for the Postanesthesia Care Unit
Hypercapnia is frequently used to accelerate emergence from anesthesia in the OR, but not in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU). To this end, a reemergence device has been proposed that will take advantage of hypercapnia to reduce recovery time and number of adverse clinical events experienced in the PACU. In order to design a device capable of meeting the wide range of breathing patterns exh...

In the present study, the effect of tail fat on recovery times in intact sheep and sheep with a ligated median sacral artery following similar anesthetic exposure with isoflurane was investigated. This study was performed using seven healthy fat-tailed Iranian Lori-Bakhtiyari ewe lambs. The lambs were anesthetized twice at two week intervals (the experiment was performed in two stages). After m...
